Register your Fitbug
• Visit http://usa.fitbug.com/start.

If you need help registering, setting up, or uploading your Fitbug, call Vitality at 877.224.7117 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Central time or email [email protected] with any questions.
Always wear your Fitbug — the steps add up whether you’re walking around a store, taking the kids to school, playing a round of golf, or doing housework. Any time you’re moving your feet, you’re on the right track to better health and earning Vitality Points.

Set up your Fitbug
• Visit http://usa.fitbug.com/tools and select your device.
• Review the set-up instructions and download the Bug Manager software.
• Set the time and enter your weight, stride length, age, and gender. (A calculator is available in the set-up instructions to help you determine your stride length.)
Be sure to set the correct time and day of the week. The Fitbug resets the step counter to 0 at midnight — if your Fitbug resets to 0 in the middle of day, the time is probably incorrect and you will lose points for that day.
Upload your steps and earn your Vitality Points
• Connect your Fitbug to your computer to automatically upload your information — you’ll be awarded Vitality Points for each day that you record 10,000 steps or more.
Don’t overload your Fitbug’s memory — get credit for all of your steps by uploading your data at least once a week.
• Your Vitality Points are posted to your account every evening. You earn 10 Vitality Points for each verified workout (such as taking 10,000 steps in one day), plus an additional 15 points for the first workout of the week and 40 bonus Vitality Points for the fifth workout of the week. It really pays to get that fifth workout in.
Questions?
If you need to replace your Fitbug, check out the discount at the Vitality online mall. On the Vitality website, select Get Rewarded and click Fitbug under the Vitality Mall.
If you have a medical condition that makes it unreasonably difficult to achieve the standards required to earn Vitality Points, call 877.224.7117. Vitality will develop a program that meets your needs to earn Vitality Points.
